Can anyone explain to me what Jack Viney exactly adds to our side. Said many of times that he's such a disruption to our midfield set up. 6 disposal in a half of football.

 

He set the tone early in the first term... and by set the tone, I mean going after balls that he didn't need to and thus stuffing it up.  A few times someone like Oliver was set to win the footy and he would come barging through and stuff it up.

I like Jack, but that's unacceptable.  He needs to stop being so selfish.

    Ohhhhh no. You can’t just pin this on the players. This is Goodwin’s 4th year as coach. His list, his team, his structures. 

    It doesn’t work, and he has to wear the blame.

    BANG ! CORRECT!

    Just got home from work and saw the score

    I shouldn't bother watching this, right? 

     

    Couldn't play much worse.

    Interesting that with Hibberd out, back line is all over the place. Could have been the same with him out there of course. Really miss an in-form Jetta or small defender.

    Not sure that the players who have been brought in are adding much: Harmes, ANB, Smith. Our list is just not as good as many are making out, after the first dozen or so quality really drops away. Time for a real clean-out?

    Man... Accidentally logged into the AFL app. Haven't seen any of this..might just stay at work a few hours longer. Classic Melbourne absolutely perfect [censored] weak

    No doubt Goodwin has to cop responsibility for us being flat from the first bounce for the 10293th time in his coaching career.

    But we cannot absolve the players. Half-hearted tackles, no defensive running, hollywood handballs, dropped marks, missed kicks, laziness. They have to pull their fingers out too.

    Please don’t get me wrong. Our players are pea hearted headless chickens today. Absolute rubbish from them. I can’t even start with how bad some of them are at football. Basic skills evade them. 

    But 4 years in and Goodwin is still making bad selection decisions, poor match day moves and he still struggles to have us stem the flow when things go against us  

    And I’m disappointed with Gawn. Captain needs to stand up. Talk and lead with your voice  

     

    That was appalling, i'm shocked.

    I'll check the scores post game to see how much we lost by. 

    Off the the virtual Chalet for some cheese platters for me

     

    Just popped in to see the carnage and I agree with absolutely everything that has been said

    I’ve been a defender of Oscars for a while at times but I can’t defend him now. Spud. He shouldn’t be playing anyway, I didn’t understand the decision to keep him in the team. 

     

    Totally lost any belief here since last year v crows  in Darwin. Tex Walker absolutely rheemed  him. Worst performance from a defensive key defender since Paul Rowland v Peter Hudson. 

    Just checked the scores.  
    Never ever been so happy that I don’t have Foxtel.

    Go [censored] your self stupid troll. You obviously havnt been watching to not see how many goals Lever has given away this year and Wagner has always been Bog ordinary and always will. Won’t win a premiership with him in the side so give it a rest

    I've been watching. Every game.

    You would know that if you showed up after a win. But you don't.

    Lever's 6th in the Demonland POTY votes by the way, so I'm clearly not the only one.

    And Wagner played well last week. Deserved his game this week.

    Where are the leaders to stand up? Max trying hard but could you please try tapping the ball to one of our guys, you never know, we might get a clearance! Tracc running around but not impacting the game, Oliver and Brayshaw trying I suppose, Jones is having a mare and if we do get possessions we just bomb it in and it comes straight back out. We were doing this early in the season so I thought we had learnt something but no it’s back to dumb play

    Like Goodwin just said "They have a choice to make"

    Lets see how badly we want this.

    MFC syndrome says no.

    SG: ‘you’ve got a choice’

     

    No you have a contract to motivate, instruct and demand standards. You need to [censored] lift

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
